Now Is a Great Time to Clean Your Air Ducts
Monday August 27, 2018
If you are like most people, cleaning is probably not really high on your list of things you like to do. In many cases, we do the basic cleaning that needs to be done, but the major projects or “once a year” maintenance cleanings are something we avoid like a root canal with no painkillers.
But one thing you definitely need to consider doing this year is getting your air ducts cleaned. This is something that should be left to a professional, so it’s not going to require a lot of muss and fuss from you. But it will definitely benefit you in the long run.
Here are some great benefits that result from a professional duct cleaning:
Keeps Your House Clean
Dusting is one of the most dreaded tasks in household cleaning. Well, the air ducts in your home help the air circulate throughout the home. If those ducts are dusty, you are literally circulating the dust around your home adding to your cleaning work. Clean out those air ducts and you can reduce the amount of dust in your home.
Saves You Money
If your air ducts are clogged with dirt and dust, it can be harder for your HVAC system to push air through them. If those machines have to work harder, you could wind up having higher bills for heating and cooling as well as potential repairs down the road.
Breathe Better
Air ducts can become a haven for things that you don’t want to inhale: dust, pollen, mildew, and mold, not to mention pet dander and other microorganisms. Since so many people suffer from allergies, taking these contaminants out of the air duct system can help everyone breathe just a little easier and reduce problems like asthma as well as skin and eye irritations. It can also help your house smell less musty when you or your guests enter.
Cleaning your air ducts is not something that you should try on your own. This is definitely a job for trained professionals using the proper equipment. Having it done the right way will benefit you in the end. There’s no better time than the present to get those air ducts cleaned!
